this morning on new you, new year, 12 strangers who lost 100 pounds and ended up running marathon together. in followed with their inspiring weight loss story. good morning. >> reporter: this really is an incredible journey of 12 people who didn't know each other. they were strangers, as you said, now 12 good friends. they bonded as they shed the pounds and as they crossed the finish line together. >> i was 253 pounds at my haven't. >> at my haven't, at my heaviest, i weighed 349 pounds. >> at my heaviest, i weighed 269 pounds. >> at my heaviest, i was 275 pounds. >> reporter: katie, carla, ada and rick didn't know each other but they did have one thing in common, they were overweight. >> when i was a kid, i was getting teased at school.

my make name was shamu in the fourth grade. it really ballooned after i had both of my kids. my son wanted to learn how to ride a two wheel bicycle. i started running alongside his bike. i couldn't keep up. i was so out of breath. i remember feeling like the worst mom in the world. i knew i was overweight my entire life. i think right after my son was born, that's when it really became a possibroblem for me. >> my final straw was seeing pictures and seeing the actual size of me. i think our perception in our head is a little different than the size we truly are. >> the worst i remember i was always overweight. you see, most asians are very petite. i pretty much stuck out like a sore thumb. i was bullied and made fun of throughout my life pretty much. i was always looking for the quick fix. after years of doing that, you realize it doesn't work. i've been going up and down for

years. >> i was always the fat kid, the classic kid picked last in gym class. it's all i've known my whole life, was being the fat kid. i take after my father very much. he's also a heavier person, diabetic, back trouble. it just hit me one day as i was approaching 40, this is a preview of coming attractions. this is going to be me if i don't do something. >> after hitting rock bottom, they all hit the pavement and started walking and then running. along the way, each lost more than 100 pounds. >> my first goal was to run around my block without having to stop. it took me about six weeks to get to that point. i started seeing progress and started setting bigger and bigger goals. >> i started training for a half marathon. over the process of that training in the next year, i lost 100 pounds. >> i probably wrap, i don't know, like 100 feet. it felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. it was pathetic.

>> i just started running a little bit at a time and i got better and better at it. i lost 99 pounds. >> running has changed my life completely. i started at 253. my goal is 133. that's what i'm at right now. i'm happy at 133. >> through her blog, katie brought together eight other runners with similar stories, together, they formed a team. and stayed in touch online. last week, the 12 strangers met for the first time for the wagner relay marathon in florida. >> 3, 2, 1! >> reporter: 200 miles from miami to key west over the course of two days. at the finish line, an exhausting yet emotional accomplishment. >> the one thing they said they have learned is there is no

finish line in this race to better health. it's a lot like running, one step followed by the other. it's this journey that never ends. >> i think everyone needs to realize it's not going to be easy. nothing about losing 120 pounds was easy. i had to make a lot of sacrifices, but i made everything work into my life. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: you know, there are people watching, saying, that's you. you're special. i couldn't do that. >> we're not special. we're everyday couch potatoes who one day decided i'm not going to do this anymore and figured out a way to make it work. >> it sounds simple. >> it's not. it's a lot of hard work. but you start with something small. get off your couch, walk around the block today. that's it. do that today. tomorrow, walk around the next block. small successes and eventually, you're here. >> reporter: that incredible

journey will be part of a documentary called "from fat to finish" which will be released later this summer. carl. >> what a story. kerry sanders in fort lauderdale. thanks so much. >> we want to say hello to jenna one of the stars of "1600 penn." good morning. you get to play the first lady. is that what attracted you to the part? >> playing the first lady was intimidating at first. it wasn't one i grasped at first but trying to find that character. our executive producer director is jason weiner who directed the pilot of "modern family" in 18 episodes. and john levet, obama's speechwriter for four years and before that, hillary clinton and there's so much talent. there was a lot right about this show that drew me in. >> did you model any existing former or first lady? >> it's really a combination.

i wanted to make sure. certainly inspired by michelle obama, in that she's modern and has pride in her health and persona. is energetic and present and participatory, but the feistiness of eleanor roosevelt. >> we understand savannah guthrie has a little cameo. >> she does. she kind of tortures my character a bit. >> hard hitting. exactly. >> my character put herself through law school and ran her husband's campaign and got him into the presidency. what they took from my life, i am a classically trained dancer and they brought that to my character. she's like really -- >> let's put it this way. i'm the butt of the joke on that one. >> again? >> exactly. >> jenna elfman, it's a great series, "1600 penn." catch it at 9:30, 8:30 central. thank you.

good morning, it's 8:26 on this thursday, january 10th, i'm aaron gilchrist. colder today than yesterday's warmup. or rather, after yesterday's warmup. toms here with your forecast. good morning. we've got sunshine and clouds coming through now. in the 30s most of the area except on the potomac and near the bay and we'll get into the upper 40s, low 50s, later this afternoon. partly cloudy and then cloudy tomorrow with low 50s and rain likely tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night. then warmer for the weekend. a touch of spring on saturday and sunday. chilly rains on monday and tuesday. and the colder pattern toward the end of next week, aaron? >> danella's road check after this. [ elizabeth ] i like to drink orange juice or have lemon in my water...

eat tomato sauce on my spaghetti. the acidic levels in some foods can cause acid erosion. the enamel starts to wear down. and you can't grow your enamel back. i was quite surprised, as only few as four exposures a day what that can do to you. it's quite a lesson learned. my dentist recommended that i use pronamel. because it helps to strengthen the enamel. he recommended that i use it every time i brush. you feel like there is something that you're doing to help safeguard against the acid erosion. and i believe it's doing a good job.

roosevelt, superman. >> reporter: this is "1600 penn," a new comedy imagining life at perhaps the most famous address in the world and an address my family called home. >> it's an ordinary family like any other family in the most extraordinary circumstances. >> reporter: josh gadd plays skip, the lovable but bumbling son of the president. here we are in the oval office. >> let's see. >> give me russia. it doesn't work. that's the main difference between this and the white house. >> reporter: well, this is obviously not the white house. we're just down the street, though, at the madame tussauds moveme museum in washington. >> i heard you researched this role extensively. >> i did. i researched a lot of the kids including you and your sister. >> i don't know. should i find that insulting? you're sort of the black sheep of the family.

>> no. you're not the -- sally, please apologize to jenna for me. no. absolutely not. >> what is your secret service code name? >> my secret service code name is "meatball." >> meatball. that's because of. >> i think it's self-explanatory. what's your secret service code name? >> twinkle. >> that's because? >> they said i had a little twinkle in my eye. >> meatball and twinkle could have been something, i'm telling you. >> reporter: the 31-year-old got his big break starring in the movie "mormon" that pokes fun at religion and just about everything else, too. >> did you expect it to catapult your career the way it did? >> no. i thought it would ruin my career. >> reporter: it certainly didn't. his career is flourishing. he's done movies, tv and once worked on ""the daily show." >> josh gadd. thank you very much. >> reporter: he grew up in

florida and learned at an early age to use humor as protective armor. i was the product of a divorced household. it was kind of a painful period when i was about 6 and the one weapon that i always had was making my family laugh. >> reporter: laughing is what "1600 penn" is all about. that, and family dynamics, like trying to get a hug from the president when he happens to be your dad. in this case, i thought i could help. >> i know somebody that will hug you. do you want to try it? ♪ >> reporter: a nice hug, right? >> and carl and the cast was thrilled to have a screening of the series at the white house and president obama got to give his two cents. >> i don't know who is more

charming him or you. twinkle. be calling you that from now on. >> don't get it confused with tingle. >> thanks. you can catch "1600 penn" tonight on nbc. up next, the oscar nominations. first, this is "today" on nbc.

[ applause ] >> thank you, seth. >> emma stone is the star of the new film "gangster squad." i'm not sure of the star, sounds like an ensemble piece to me, right? >> keep reading. >> the star of the new film "ga "gangster squad." some say she's better than meryl

streep. who says that? >> i don't know. nobody, a lot of people. let's just read the nominees. >> okay. >> okay. >> the nominees will be read in no particular order. >> for best performance by an actor in a supporting role, the nominees are, christoph waltz in "django unchained." he's won before. phillip s philip seymour man in "the master." he has won before. robert de niro in "silver linings playbook." he's won before. alan arkin in "argo." he has won before. and tommie lee jones in "lincoln." he's won before. >> breath of fresh air in that categor category. >> for best original song, the nominees are, before my time from chasing ice, music and lyric by jay ralph. pi's lug la by, mychael danna

master." congratulations to you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to harvey weinstein. [ laughter ] >> for best animated feature film, the nominees are, "frankenweenie," tim burton. the pirates, band of misfits, peter lord. wreck et ralph, rich moore. paranormal, chris butler and samfeld and "brave." >> for best foreign language film, the nominees are from austria, "amour." >> from chili,. >> from denmark, "a royal affair." >> from norway, "kon-tiki." >> i read "amour" was co-produced in austria and germany, right? the last time austria and

germany got together and co-produced something, it was hitler. this is much better. >> much better. >> highly recommend it. >> so much better. yeah. >> for adapted screen play, we have lucy alibar and benh zeitlin for "beasts of the southern wild." kris terrio for "argo." tony kushner for "lincoln." david o. russell for "silver linings playbook" and david magee for "life of pi." >> these are adapted screen plays, keep in mind. that means the writers basically copied stuff from microsoft word andpasted it into final draft. >> for best original screen play, the nominees are john gatins for "flight." mark boal for "zero dark 30." quentin tarantino for "django unchained." michael haneke for "amour" and wes anderson and roman coppola

foreman rice kingdom. >> for best achievement in directing, the nominees are david o. russell for "silver linings playbook." ang lee for "life of pi." steven spielberg for "lincoln." michael haneke for "amour" and benh zeitlin for beasts of the southern wild. these are five people who are the very best at sitting in a chair watching other people make a movie. >> the nominees for best performance by an actor in a leading role are daniel day-lewis in "lincoln." denzel washington in "flight." hugh jackman in "les miserables." bradley cooper in "silver linings playbook". juaquin phoenix in "the master." a little fun fact for you. denzel's character was actually as strong as half of the people who are up at this hour.

>> guilty. >> for best performance by an actress in a leading role, the nominees are naomi watts in "the impossible". jessica chastain in "zero dark 30". jennifer lawrence in "silver linings playbook". emmanuelle riva in "amour." in the bea"beasts of the southe wild." >> at 85, emmanuelle riva is the oldest best actress nominee in oscar history. wallace this is youngest ever, s she's 9. finally, we are pleased to announce the film selected as the best picture nominees for 2012 are "beasts of the southern wild wild". >> "silver linings playbook." donna, bruce cohen and jordan producers. >> "zero dark 30" producers.

>> lynn con, steven spielberg and katherine kennedy producers. >> "les miserables" producers. >> life of pi, producers. >> "amour," nominees to be determined. >> "django unchained," stacy, reginald and pilar producers. >> and "argo," grant, ben af fleck and george clooney producers. >> "argo" has been nominated. somebody tell cranston, he can unclench his teeth now. brian, i love you. please join us at the oscars, sunday february 24th to find out who will take home the oscars. >> congratulations to all the nominees. all right. the nominations and "django unchained"'s chief correspondent and director for the hollywood reporter. good morning to both of you. "lincoln," no surprise. 12 nominations there.

you were surprised, two movies we're hearing about, "amour" in two major categories nominated, as well as beast"beasts of the southern wild". >> those are two movies that made great gains today. "beasts of the southern wild," and wallace the youngest best actress. she was 6 when she made that movie, 9 now and "amour" about a french elderly couple, the wife has a stroke and descendses into dementia and michael heneke, the director. >> and some not nominated for director will lead to speculation. >> huge snub, huge snub this morning, some people they thought they were a given. katherine bigelow, she won the oscar for "hurt locker" a few years ago. no ben affleck. this is the movie everyone's talking about, got a best picture nomination and a few others. that is really the shocker of the morning. also, no quentin tarantino?

>> yes. >> "django unchained," quentin is the director's director in hollywood and that is stunning to me. the only thing i can think, obviously, there's been a lot of controversy around the movie. maybe there's older members of the academy who said, we appreciate the movie but it's not his turn. >> "django unchained" did rack up nominations, picture and original screen play, which is huge in itself as well. let's go through actors and actresses, supporting actresses. i don't think there was any surprise in that category at all. i think everybody seems this think ann hathaway has the lock with "les miserables." >> i think ann will win and one prediction was jacki weaver. she didn't get nominated leading up to it, plays the mom. she is an australian actress that plays the mom and i was happy to see her get in. it will be tough for her to beat ann hathaway. that performance is off the charts. >> supporting actor. a lot of repeat winners.

de niro, tommie lee jones and alan arkin. people have a soft spot for. >> i think alan arkin will be the person who has the oscar win the longest to go. i think it was 40 years ago, i believe. >> he just won for "little miss sunshine." >> you're right. it's five heavy hitters. who knows what will happen. this is the category of all the acting races the most wide open. couldn't you see any of these guys winning. >> and they would all be thrilled. seth mcfarland, we saw he made a lot of jokes giving us a sneak peek what's in store. >> and the ricky gervais style of hosting may be back. >> and harvey weinstein. >> that was good and bad. >> below the belt. >> actress categories, jennifer lawrence, everybody is predicting this will be her year. she's been nominated before for "winter's bone." >> she's the youngest at 1822 to have two best actress nominations in her career.

i think it's between her and jessica chastain for "zero dark 30." but emmanuelle riva and wallis and helen mirren, throws this race wide open. >> people loved jennifer lawrence, she had a huge box office hit and proves hollywood loves winners. she's serious but not lindsey lohan, young but doesn't act like a fool around town and people love her seriousness. >> and "silver linings playbook" is the only one to have actor nominees in all four categories so obviously they've taken to that movie. >> very exciting and much more about the oscars in a moment. first, this is "today" on nbc.

back now with more on the academy award nominations, thanks for sticking around,

guys. we were talking about it before the break. and "the sessions," where they had to make choices about ac for and actress, clearly only one got the nod. >> hawkes was so great in that movie and in any other time he would have been nominated. and joaquin phoenix who had been shut out in other awards got in. >> some people didn't like it. it was difficult and hard to under. >> joaquin wallace talks about how he hates hollywood. >> they don't care. >> "lincoln" is difficult to watch and got a best director nomination. "argo" and "les miserables" both got lots of nominations were not

nominated in the directors category. that is kinds of a bad sign for their overall chances. very hard to win best picture without a director nomination. >> thank you so much. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc. so...

on the ballot for the first time, all-time home run king and roger clemens you can make a case as the greatest pitcher of all time. they did not come close. you need 75% of baseball writers votes. bonds got 36%, roger clemens got 37% and others sammy sosa, mark mcgwire fall into that same category. star jones, should these guys who have the numbers but otherwise implicated in the steroid era be in the hall of fame. >> according to the sports writers it should be a group of people with a certain level of integrity and character and accomplishments on the field. if you have been tainted. if your accomplishments on the field have been tainted by the choices you made, in other words, you cheated, no, you should not be in, unless, of course, we're going to have a new section of the hall of fame that says, during the sroid era, then they would indeed be in the hall of fame. >> we laugh. there are people who suggested that, alex, there should be a wing, that's giving nod to these guys and say, yes, this was a

different time, perhaps a corrupt time in baseball but they have the biggest numbers in the history of our game. >> the hall of in ffamyinfamy. >> the fagt they're not putting younger inductees in is part of the institutional failure across sports. we talk about rg3's knees, violence in fool and lance armstrong doing a special with oprah, in a sense, winning isn't what it used to be. this is almost an expression of a real disenchantment where sports is at now. >> i think it's very simple, people don't like cheaters. sports is sports. this is asimple issue, we as a society will not condone cheating from the little league level. they will never get in, very simple. they don't deserve to get in. in reality, these guys were great athletes and probably didn't need to do it to get in. shame on them. >> if we applied that to

everyone in the hall of fame, is there an entire gerneration tha never played against african-american plays and didn't play against the best. what do we do with spitballers and ty cobb, aren't they all cheaters in their own way? >> the question is wh whether or not they did something to damage their reputation on the field. a lot of people talk about pete rose. he bet on sports. >> he broke the rules. >> that's my point. you break the rules of sports. >> i was thinking about o.j. simpson in the hall of fame, he's there because of what he did in the field. if you were picking him based on his character, he would not get in. >> he would not have gotten in. >> that's the point, you get what you did on the field. >> ray lewis was acquitted but up for accessory to a murder years and years ago, interesting to see what happened. >> convicted of obstruction of justice. >> i guarantee you, he will get

in. >> vp tv. there is a petition on the white house website that calls for a reality show that follows the life and times of vice president joe biden. they want to see everything he does. let's be honest, this was launched because of a few moments last week. let's watch. >> you've got a million dollar smile. >> there's a lot to smile about. i want you next to me. i want you next to me. if you need any help, let me know. holy mackerel. >> there was a swearing in of members of congress. >> incredible idea, can i be the cameraman? >> he's the most entertaining man in politics. he says stuff off-the-cuff, p h pushes the envelope. he said even if we do everything with absolute certainty, there's a 30% chance we do everything

wrong. he pushed the president to be for gay marriage inadvertently. he has color and humor and went in and cleaned up the fiscal cliff deal. >> he's the vice president. are you out of your mind? we don't want to see him doing this. i want him working. i don't want him playing to the cameras. i don't want him appealing to you and your base. i don't want to look at snooki all the time because that is not what his job is. >> interesting for politicians, chris christie and joe biden, in reality tv, the word is "real." people want real people as politicians now. whether on either side of the aisle, alex deals with these people everyday forget whether he has a show or not, we want to see warts and human beings and we're done with this very stiff things and the road map for politicians. >> we don't want to see how the sausage is made, i do not think so. >> as alex pointed out, he's at the center of the fiscal cliff

deal and gun control thing. we're out of time and got so deep on the baseball team. >> who knew, baseball. >> and although you weren't ahead. thanks so much, guys. up next, why sitting all day is so bad for all of us. >> who knew? try delicious light & fit greek it's no ordinary nonfat yogurt. it has twice the protein of regular lowfat yogurt. and at 80 calories, it's the lightest greek yogurt with fruit. its creamy, thick texture helps satisfy you. so you won't feel like you're running low on satisfaction. light & fit greek. be light and fit. and satisfied. people have been daring them to clean up tough messes. my fans think a paper towel can't handle this. ♪ that is tough when wet.
